Description

The Camellia Garden is ready to welcome you for a stay in the peaceful countryside of Lucca.

Our B&B is located inside an ancient 17th-century convent, as you can see from the engraving at the entrance (dated 1641), situated in the delightful town of Badia di Cantignano, a small village surrounded by nature between Lucca (just 5 km away) and Pisa (15 km away). All our rooms are equipped with Wi-Fi, a private bathroom, air conditioning, and a TV. Additionally, you can enjoy our beautiful external garden, equipped with games for the little ones.

The Camellia Garden - B&B is located within a historic courtyard, in the small rural hamlet of Badia di Cantignano (Capannori, Prov. of Lucca), at the foot of the Pisan Mountains, at the beginning of the Vorno Valley. Thanks to its location, just 5 km from the center of Lucca and 15 km from the famous Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa, our B&B represents the ideal solution for those who want to visit both historic cities in a day, without giving up the peace of the countryside. Just 5 minutes from the property is the outdoor swimming pool "Le 4 Torri", accessible via an AICS card. Finally, the proximity to the Borgo delle Antiche Camelie della Lucchesia adds even more value to the location of our B&B, inspired by its name.

Area countryside

Giardino delle Camelie B&B awaits you for a stay in the tranquility of the southern Lucca countryside, near the Via Francigena and the Via degli Acquedotti. We are in a small village of Roman origin called Badia di Cantignano, which can boast an enviable strategic position. To the west you can find the "itinera romaneca+" route which leads to the "Parole d'oro" (the large cistern of the Nottolini aqueduct), following the aqueduct path northwards for 4 km you can reach the historic center of Lucca with its Walls, while going south for 10 km you arrive at the Terme di San Giuliano and shortly after (about 5 km) Pisa. Finally, the Lucca Est motorway connection allows you to reach the beaches of Versilia very easily.

Breakfast

We stayed at the Giardino delle Camelie - B&B during the Lucca Summer Festival and we were really happy. The room was spacious and clean, with a very large private bathroom. Being a former convent, the B&B is charming, with wooden beams on the ceiling and antique objects. There is also a relaxation area in the garden. The breakfast was very good, abundant and with artisanal products. We were welcomed by Nicola, who assisted us throughout the stay with great kindness and attention. In short, everything was taken care of down to the smallest details. It's a place to come back to!

Excellent B&B a few kilometers from the center of Lucca. The structure is very well-kept and equipped with every comfort. Very welcoming and friendly managers and convenient free parking next to the structure. Abundant breakfast served in a comfortable environment. Excellent value for money. Definitely recommended for both tourism and business.

Beautiful structure located in a typical Tuscan farmhouse, a few minutes from the center of Lucca and all the services that could be useful while traveling: restaurants, supermarkets, bars... The Giardino delle Camelie - B&B has a large garden, the parking is convenient, the rooms are clean and furnished in respect of the original style of the building, which has been carefully restored. It is the ideal place for those who want a relaxing holiday, as they are immersed in the landscape and tranquility of the countryside, moreover the owners Nicola and Irene immediately make guests feel at ease and it doesn't take much to feel at home!

Enchanting and peaceful place immersed in the greenery, a few kilometers from Lucca, ideal to disconnect from the chaos and enjoy some relaxation. Breakfast could be improved with the addition of savory products but overall everything was very good. Nicola is very kind and hospitable. Highly recommended!

I stayed at this property for one night and I had a great time. The entire Giardino delle Camelie - B&B is furnished with simplicity and good taste, the cleanliness is excellent and the surrounding countryside is an oasis of peace. The location is easy to reach and the manager was very kind in accommodating both the check-in time and breakfast the next morning. Highly recommended property!

luca

The property is in a fantastic location, just a few minutes drive from the beautiful Lucca, but located in a quiet village in the Lucchese countryside, which allows you to savor the tranquility and calm of the Tuscan province. B&B obtained from a completely renovated farmhouse equipped with all the comforts, but at the same time maintaining the rustic characteristics of the past. The owners are young and dynamic people, ready and attentive to every guest's request and to advise you on the best ways to visit the area. Super breakfast in a splendid living room, sipping coffee with the fireplace on was a dream! The courtyard of the property is also very nice, perfectly fenced to allow children to play safely. What can I say, I couldn't recommend a better place to visit Lucca!

Truly an excellent experience! The property is very beautiful and welcoming and is immersed in the Tuscan countryside, this alone is worth the maximum. The room where I stayed overlooked the garden directly, offering me not only a spectacular view but also priceless silence and tranquility. The managers are super kind and helpful and meet any need, starting from the check-in and breakfast times, as well as any useful tourist information. Highly recommended B&B for those who want to enjoy nature and tranquility and stay in a place easy to reach, the navigator will take you to your destination without any problem. Until next time!

Perfect stay, among the best ever! The structure is easily reachable except for the parking, but just notify when you are there and you will be immediately guided. The location is excellent, both for the ease of reaching both Lucca and Pisa, and because it is immersed in greenery but close to the center and the necessary services especially excellent restaurants recommended by the owners. The rooms are really beautiful, perfectly renovated, leaving the rustic flavor of the era intact, and very clean (for the first time in my life I slept in a bed in a structure without imagining it dirty or with bad smells). Breakfast is served at different times according to the request, so you don't have to rush, and the owner offers, in addition to the buffet in the common room, freshly prepared, hot drinks and fresh products on request. Small suggestions for improvements (I am really picky): offer one of the two pillows, much lower than the other, because I am used to it, if I had to stay more nights, I would have had problems; inform that, in some of the recommended places, it would be preferable to book.

lucia

We stayed at this property for only one night, but it was enough to say that we had a great time and found a truly beautiful and very unique location. Our room was the one defined by the manager as a "suite", with an entrance featuring a small sofa and a fridge, a very large and spacious bedroom, and a bathroom almost as big as a room. The location of this property is not easy to trace, but by setting the navigator correctly, you cannot go wrong, especially because Capannori is composed of many villages. We only regret having stayed for one night, but we will definitely come back. We absolutely recommend this property!

The Giardino delle Camelie - B&B is located in a quiet area in Guamo and is very well-kept and clean. Furthermore, the manager is very kind. If I were to pass through the area again, I would gladly return.

New property in the Lucchese countryside, spacious room and bathroom. Some details are missing, such as coat hooks in the bathroom and in the room, and a large mirror. Breakfast needs improvement with at least water on the buffet.
